Brace yourself for some hardcore bingeing with these 9 hit dramas available on StarHub Go, StarHub’s new stand-alone streaming service.

Game of Thrones

And the struggle for the iron throne continues. Originally based on the best-selling novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, the TV series has gone past where the books currently end, leaving fans with zero foresight into what could happen next. Set against the exotic landscapes of five countries, including Spain and Iceland, the drama has beaten the likes of Downtown Abbey and House of Cards to snag last year’s Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. With the last season just over, grab the chance to catch up on Seasons 1 to 6 on StarHub Go.

Sherlock is back, as eccentric, clever and irresistibly charming as ever. The series stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the modern Holmes and Martin Freeman as his perpetually confused sidekick Dr John Watson. And it seems Sherlock’s charms extend to real life too, with Cumberbatch gaining fans, dubbed Cumberpeople, for his quirky antics, which includes announcing his marriage in a newspaper ad and stepping out of his home with a sign instructing paparazzi to photograph something more important than himself. Get lost in 3 full seasons, plus the special Sherlock Holmes and the Abominable Bride, all available on StarHub Go.

This massively-popular Korean military drama raked in an astounding 38.8% domestic viewership rating for its last episode, surpassing previous hit drama My Love from the Star. With more than a billion views in China alone, the drama has contributed an estimated US$261 million to the Korean economy and spawned tour packages to its filming locations in Korea and Greece.

Misaeng

Your intern life may not be that depressing after all, not after watching idol-actor Siwan struggle to survive as an intern in Korean society. Based on a popular webtoon, every actor approached by the filming crew had rejected taking up the lead role until Siwan personally voiced his interest to the director. This proved to be a wise decision on his part too, as the drama had no doubt cemented a recognition of his acting skills among critics and K-drama fans. Sob, laugh and learn with our beloved intern as he navigates the frustrations, joys and complexity of the working world.

Liked for its star-studded cast and complex plot, watch a victim of palace politics embark on his journey of revenge, seeking to avenge the death of his family members using intelligent warfare methods. While popular actor Hu Ge stars as the drama’s shrewd protagonist, also look out for breakout star Wang Kai, whose acting chops and handsome features have since propelled him to fame.

Loosely based on real life events, watch three business tycoons battle for power amidst government politics, underground triads and war. This is also your last chance to catch a joint work by Wu and TVB as the drama is her last one before leaving the Hong Kong channel after 16 years.
